Review of Melvin and Howard (1980) by Joel M — 01 Apr 2012
I never did see "Melvin and Howard" before tonight, I guess no one inherited me this movie based on a true story about a Nevada hard-luck man named Melvin Dummar who gives Howard Hughes a ride one night in 67 and ends up being a beneficiary in a Hughes will.
Talk about your real life "Help me Howard" story! Anyways, this flick ended up winning 2 Oscars, one for Mary Steenburgen for Best Supporting Actress and one for Best Original Screenplay. I am not so sure they were deserving of Oscars.
However, I thought Jason Robards was brilliant as Hughes and was very worthy of his Best Supporting Actor nomination!
